In this exhibition, the Brazilian artist Prozak presents prints and paintings in mixed media on paper, continuing his research on transparencies and overlays, exploring the levels of saturation and contrast between colors, and the reaction between the materials used.
These peculiar portraits, almost abstracts, contain multiple faces, skulls and masks mixed with expressions of euphoria, joy, anger, sadness and frustration, are a metaphor for the precarious balance of the human mind, and question the boundaries between the various layers of human emotion and complete insanity.
São Paulo is an epicentre for graffiti artists, and Mazu Prozak is one of the most prolific and influential Paulistan graffiti artists of his generation.
Prozak emerged in the 90s with the boom of graffiti in the bohemian neighourhood of Vila Madalena in São Paulo. An environment where he discovered Pixação, a traditional and idiosyncratic tag scene originating from the city of drizzle.
His work has taken him all over the globe including London, California, Tokyo and Antwerp. Last year he undertook the biggest leap of his artistic career when he set off to Gdansk in Poland to paint a ‘ginormous’ 36-metre high mural as part of the Monumental Art Festival, which you can discover in the following video . Its really something to see the scale of this piece , done using a basic scaffolding set up.

Since 1998 he has been involved in graffiti and street art projects. “I always liked art and being on the street. So when I was at art school around 1997, I started doing graffiti with two skateboarder friends of mine,” he says. Upon graduating from the Fundação Armando Alvares Penteado, Prozak couldn’t imagine rubbing shoulders with mainstream artists “I just couldn’t stand the traditional art world, its elitism and frills, so frivolous and distant from regular people and society. So painting on the street was just a natural choice for me. I wanted to do free public art with no rigid rules where money and the art market have no involvement,” he mentions. http://vimeo.com/27434769#
